Entity XSD schemas are invalid

Hi,
As part of doing a custom integration using BizTalk 2004, we need to
do mappings between MS CRM and other applications.
However the xsd's provided with the SDK and the stored procedures
generating them are/produce invalid (non-w3c compliant) xsd.
It might be an idea for someone in the MS CRM dev group to go over
these xsd's with a validator and fix the incorrect sections, including
th generating stored procedures so updated schemas can be made
available for integration purposes.
Best Regards
Thomas Scheelhardt

I have found the majority of examples in the SDK are
incorrect and though they compile they return SOAP or
invalid XSD errors.
I agree that someone needs to review these and publish
correctly formatted ones

This is a known issue in both 1.0 and 1.2. For now there's a way you can get
the correct XSD for any entity. Check out
http://inside-mscrm.blogspot.com/2004/06/dealing-with-broken-xsd.html for a
short walk-through on reading the metadata and constructing the XSD. The
procedure isn't pretty, but it does work.

adding a custom activity to CRM 3.0 schemaHello,
I would like to add a custom activity (Contact Us Form Submission) to the
CRM schema. My hopes are that it will show up like any other activity in
the CRM, including being listed in the history when viewing a contact. We
want to integrate our website contact us form to automatically submit the
form results into the CRM.
I played around a bit with adding a custom entity, but I could not get it to

Complex Type Collision with XSD.exeI am having difficulty coming up with an elegant solution to a problem
that I am having. I have a web service that processes different types
of requests and return the appropriate response. Each request and
response type has its own schema, and requests and responses are in
different namespaces.
The problem is that there are several common global complex types among
the requests and responses. For example each response has an
ErrorDetails collection for reporting non-fatal errors, and each
request has a named value pair type called ValuePair. When I generate
the classes for these schemas ...

Cannot void credit card transactionsFor some reason we can't void transactions. When I try to do the void,

status bars indicate that something is happening, but I don't believe
them. It will take about 10 min to reach the end of the status bar box

way to close it is by shutting down the whole program-- ctrl+alt+del.

System entityHi
I have run into abit of a problem when trying to customize a client's crm.
Abit of background:
The client is extensively involved in project management, which means they
often need to create purchase orders on a client's behalf. This means that
the person the order is for, the person the order should be billed to and the
address the order needs to be delivered to may be 3 entirely different
entities.
Standard CRM supports seperate addresses to be used for billing and
delivery, but isn't flexible enough to automatically fill in addresses of
different accounts. So ins...

How to move all dbo schema objects to another schema?Does anyone know of a way to move all objects in a db from schema dbo to

mat (mat@notarealdotcom.adr) writes:

In theory:
SELECT 'ALTER SCHEMA newschema TRANSFER dbo.' + quotename(name)
FROM sys.objects
WHERE schema_id = 1
Excute and run result. But before you go ahead, beware of that in practice
it is a lot more difficult.
For starters you should probably add a WHERE clause to the SELECT, so
that you don't include object types like cons...

Post-Update Callout on assignment of entity?Hello all,
I'm attempting to use a post-update callout to trap when an entity is reassigned and catch the new owner.
The callout works as built right now (just printing the update info to a text file), and gets triggered on a reassign, but I don't see any fields in the OrigOwnerXml that would indicate that its indeed been reassigned, nor do I see the current or previous owner anywhere.
How can I catch an assign event in a callout? It should be possible, since it can be done in the workflow manager, but I need a degree of customization that's not available there.
Any suggestions...

Replace Account entity with Contact entityI would like to disable the account entity as all my customers are individual

Hi dwoo,
Contacts are independent entities and they can be created without any
associated account.
Most features that can be associated with an account can also be associated
with Contacts.. so I guess it may work without issues.

Identifying XML schema validation errors in.NET 2.0In .NET 1.x the validating reader used an XmlTextReader which had LineNumber
and LinePosition properties so you could report where the validation took
place. In 2.0 the XmlReader is a validating reader but has no line number
or position properties so how can you tell where the error occured?
--Buddy
After doing some more searching I found the XmlSchemaException class. It
has a LineNumber and a LinePosition property. I thought my problems were
solved. Not so. Those properties alwasy appear to be zero. So I'm still
stuck.

For example, a product is an absract product which can be

kind "C" with kind "C" attirbutes, picklists.
The business works with product as general which requires
to have all prodcuts of a customer under the same name of

When to use custom entity or account/contactI have found scattered information on the web about this topic but am having
a difficult time finding a good reference. So I would like to open it up to
the group:
What would you say the criteria should be when choosing between creating a
custom entity or using a core record type like account or contact. What are
the advantages/disadvanteges of either approach?
I'm mostly looking for information about version 4.0, but would be
interested to hear thoughts about this topic for 3.0 as well.

after 2 years they don't want to recreate a Unit they just want to link a
new Tenant to it .any Ideas how I can create a Static List of Units.
You can create a "unit" entity and then link it to contacts. You can also
create a middle entity that would like Unit to Contact plus maintian
information about the rental agreement, if necessary.

What have I done wrong or it is the way Microsoft CRM works?
Don't worry! This is a system field and cannot be added onto the form.
